Hi, I wonder if it is possible to trigger a copilot studio copilot topic by means of a powerautoamte flow?

If so, how does this work?

You could do that via Directline, but why? What sort of requirement will be addressed with this pattern?

Want to trigger a conversation from a PowerApp via a button flow and use a value from a text field as trigger message that I send over.
I tried direct line but have difficulties getting it work.
Do you have some more specific info on directline and how this needs to be configured in detail?

Not sure what specifics are needed, but here is a collection with some calls to Directline (the endpoint is for a non-us copilot)

Thanks but that does not help much.
I need more specific information on what needs to be setup in Azure and PowerAutomate to make this work

Do you mean trigger a conversation with a Copilot Agent inside of a Power Automate flow?

If so, use the Copilot connector, action Execute Agent and wait (operationId: ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2)

Then the response will return in the action output:

outputs('Execute_Agent_and_wait')?['body/lastResponse']
